The Power Management options include "Turn off Hard Disks" and "System
Standby."
What is the difference?

The former option will _only_ turn off the HDDs while the latter one
will make the system turn off further devices (monitor, network card).
 
Thanks for the info.
Yesterday while I was playing Spider Solitaire, I heard the hard drive click
off, but I was able to continue playing the game. How can this be?

The game does not need to access the HDD obviously.
